Wow, Wicked is really free-falling. Are people upset with the musical or something? LOL

Jumpin_J said: "There's so much wrong here on paper alone, I wouldn't invest in it with free money. 1) At $30M, it'll need Hamilton reviews, sold out, no discounts for years just to recoup let alone go into profit. 2) Sorry, but the movie really isn't that good. It's held together by the electric live performances not only by Prince but The Time too. The book itself is pretty weak. 3) MJ impersonators are a dime a dozen. You'll need a star who can sing, play guitar, move, and act like Prince....

Terrible choice, definitely a big downgrade from the current cast.

They should have waited a bit longer and spent more time working on the book, especially since the out-of-town tryout was abysmal. As it stands, it'll probably get swallowed up by Paddington and Warriors.

Nettik said: "Juliette Lewis and Michaela Jae Rodriguez both departed the production today. Juliette's departure was well-announced, MJ's seems to be a surprise."Michaela departed just like that. Some reddit members are saying something is off with the production team behind the scenes. Does anyone know who her replacement is?

The show is flipping to a commercial contract next week, which likely means that everyone just got a really nice raise consistent with the show’s success as an enticement to stay on. Aside from Juliette, ...

It lasted way longer than it deserved. The Marquis is cursed... so what's next?

One of the least funny people out there, but good for him I guess

The animated movie was also a jukebox musical, so it makes sense. I wonder if they'll reuse some of the songs from the movie in the stage version. The version of "Somebody to Love" was excellent and it can be a showstopper, so hopefully it stays. The rest of the tracks are classics, but they feel pretty dated to me.

Can't say I didn't see this coming, but it's still so sad. My beloved DBH! I'll never understand how the producers let this ship sink while losing millions of dollars

I know Michelle was out last week but It feels like DBH’s producers are just waiting to shut it down and be done with it. Since Megan left, grosses have become a nightmare—they didn’t even plan for a replacement duo or bring in a big pop star to replace Michelle and attract a new audience.

I thought it was hilarious https://x.com/DudeSkipper/status/2048115961010471153

Beaches' fate is already sealedDBH needs to do something asap with their cast or they'll close by labor day

Awful numbers for DBH :( - Nothing against Wolfe, but the show is not the same without Hilty imo. I recenly saw Wolfe and it felt a complete different vibe from 2025 shows, but can't explain why. Something big was definitely missing
